To get us all excited about the summer season rolling in, Proper Brewing threw a party last weekend known as ProperPalooza, to celebrate beer and the community. Despite the windy weather and cooler temps, Proper saw a pretty awesome turnout for the event, says Eleanor Lewis, Marketing and Events Coordinator. They have a partnership with Beehive Sports, who provided the “Giant Beer Pong” and Cornhole games taking place outside the restaurant. This was a family event with live music, food, games, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Michael and Norma Taylor drive by Proper all the time and happened to see the event. With bands playing and giant beer pong taking place, it was hard to pass up an outdoor celebration. Those that didn’t hear about the event on Facebook came to support their favorite bands. Troy Carsey ventured down to the event to see his friend’s band, Wey, play. “Hats off to Proper for having an awesome sound system,” said Carsey. The music was perfect and complimented the party vibe Proper was creating with their specialty brews and family games.

Twice a year Proper throws events like this to bring together beer lovers and party-goers. It’s a great way to try specialty beers and hang out in the sunshine on a Saturday afternoon. Their next event is late in the fall to celebrate Oktoberfest, but in the meantime, the pub is always open!

  • Public Homeless Campers in Salt Lake City Will Be Seeing More Police Presence

    Public camping on the Jordan River Parkway Trail in Salt Lake City has become a contentious issue, balancing the needs of homeless individuals with the preservation of public space. Despite a Supreme Court ruling allowing cities to enforce anti-camping laws, the humanitarian crisis persists. Tammy and her husband, unable to find housing, live near the river.

    Solutions Utah, led by Dale Keller, addresses homelessness through policy advocacy and clean-up efforts. Keller’s team initiated large-scale clean-ups in 2005, removing tons of garbage. Campers often receive minimal notice to vacate, despite rules requiring 48-hour warnings.

    Tammy shares concerns about crime and insufficient support, desiring a sanctioned campground with basic facilities and security. While Keller supports this idea, bureaucratic resistance hinders progress. As enforcement increases elsewhere, the future for Salt Lake City’s homeless remains uncertain.

    A challenge to the $2 billion taxpayer funded Little Cottonwood Canyon gondola is in the works. What else could that much money be used for?
    Gondola Works was the successful PR and marketing campaign that dazzled UDOT and UTA board members and gained the support of enough Wasatch Front Regional Council members to approve the overall $26 billion plan.

    The overriding questions are, Why should we be putting so much energy into a $26 billion plan that only focuses on transporting mostly elite skiers up to our mountains? How does this massive investment help average Utahns?
